Monty,
I'm so sorry you were treated like that.
You and I talked about this very thing and I know how bad you feel, not only physically and emotionally, but about not being believed. I feel the same.
Don't listen to him. You know you. Others see it too. This happened to me with my blood disorder.
I was told all my symptoms were psycho-somatic. Come to find out, every symptom I had was because my platelets were at a million (norm is 440,000) and I was heading for stroke territory.
It was a dermatologist who finally realized something was wrong and sent me to a Hem/Onc.
Don't let one doctor make this "call."
I wish I could make it better.
Petunia
